So this dude posts video proof of his Samsung S4 catching fire in order to get a replacement. Samsung replies by telling him to sign away his rights and video goes viral.

Wow. I've got an S4 and I kept thinking that burning sensation in my pants was just my gonorrhea acting up. Who knew it was my phone on fire?
 
i'm in the market for a phone. i don't buy shit often, but the last music data device i bought was an iPod, and i have to endlesssly swirl my fucking thumb around like a retard to find shit, and i get treated like a fucking criminal every time i upgrade my lappy & want to (crazy this) move over my musical library.

that's enough to push me away from apple products.

that said, is the S4 that bad? i'll take my chances on whatever fire risk you've mentioned, but other than that, is is good?

My S4 is awesome. So far there's very few quirks that get me -- things like apps crashing with heavy usage etc that I used to get with my S2, and before that the string of HTC's I had. All my issues with the phone are silly things like default settings, that can be hard to change.

I found the eye tracking thing a bit of a gimmick, doesn't help me at all. That could be (partially) because I wear glasses though, and that causes it to struggle or something.

get iphone 5s, it's amazing.
 
I heard that "Nokia" was using this as a marketing campaign, it offered Samsung users with this problem a free LUMIA.
